After three years of running and co-running The Game on this site and in the Newbs, I feel my time has come to an end and therefore won't be co-ordinating it again this season. If member(s) do wish to continue this though, all anyone interesting in running it has to do is PM me and I will forward all the instructions and ideas from previous years to them and will be on hand to offer advice.

Equally, if anyone has a fresh idea or a new perspective on the competition, don't be afraid to suggest it. Either way, hopefully something will be up-and-running by the weekend.

The Game is simple: choose FOUR players who you think will score in the forthcoming round of Premier League matches.

These are the rules:

- ONE player ONLY must be chosen from the bottom five at that time, a "super-scorer"
- The other THREE can be from any club, not in the bottom five.

For Gameweek one.. ANY FOUR PLAYERS CAN BE CHOSEN

One goal = one point. Any super-scorer who nets will gain two points per goal. Users will tally points in a leaderboard to be updated in this original post after every set of matches. Good luck!

I know its close to the start of this, but shouldnt our other three choices be whom ever we want it to be, regardless of position? If I wanted to choose 4 bottom 5 team players I should be able too. Not too fussed if there is no change but seems silly to restrict the other three.

Week 1:

Rooney, Aguero, Van Persie(SS), Drogba

I'm not sure how this worked last year but yes I'm happy enough to do this, as long as the super-scorer is indicated.

Your doing it exactly as it was olast season I just remember it coming up in the later stages so I thought I would raise the idea now.

I'll second this, it is a completely arbitrary and irrational rule. If people want to choose two from the bottom 5 so be it, so long as one is clearly marked SS.

In theory, it would be a silly thing to do but towards the end of the season, when others have stormed ahead it is a -risky- way to try to make up the gap: not going for the usual suspects at the top teams.
